Mickey, Jr., Regional Coordinat9F n Habitat Conservation Program 'DATE: December 14, 1998 SUBJECT: State Clearinghouse Project No. 99E0313( ?): Lawrence.Park Subdivision, Orange County This correspondence responds to a request by you for our review and comments on the Environmental Assessment (EA) for the above referenced project. These comments are provided in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661- 667d.) and the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (G.S. 113A -1 through 113A -10; 1 NCAC 25). East West Partners Management Company, Inc. is developing a 244 lot subdivision on an 84.9 acre tract known as Lawrence Park, located just east of Hillsborough, NC. Based on review of the information provided, we are concerned with potential impacts that this project might have on the Eno River and endangered mussel species. From the map it appears that some of the headwater draws located on the project are located on an unnamed tributary to the Eno River. Based on review of the submitted information, we can concur with the EA and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for this project provided the following concerns are addressed: 1. Stringent erosion control measures should be installed where soil is disturbed and maintained until project completion. 2. A stormwater management plan must be developed and approved.by the Division of Water Quality before construction activities begin. 3. A minimum 25 foot riparian buffer zone should be maintained along any small streams or wetlands identified on the site. J. -U,1
